High School Students Told
How to Succeed in Business
"How to Succeed In Business" was
the subject when Westfield Public
Schools' Human Resources Director
David M. Tuller visited Mrs. Karen
Miller's classes at Westfield High
School.
Mr. Tuller stressed the importance
of creating a good impression right
from the start. A clear, concise telephone call or letter in response to an
advertisement, a clean and neat application with no mistakes was recommended by Mr. Tuller.
He also suggested copying the
original and using it as a rough draft
and dressing for the interview neatly
and keeping with the type of business. Mr. Tuller told the students that
75 per cent of those workers fired
from a job lose it because of a lack of
interpersonal skills, not an inability
to do the job itself.
He pointed out the importance of
knowing how to deal with people in a
polite and direct way, such as shaking
hands, eye contact, being prompt for
an appointment and smiling.
"All of these things combine to

best shot at getting thejob," Mr. Tuller
noted.
While it is not unusual to be nervous during a interview, it is important to present a "conscientious and
hard- working attitude," heexplained.
Mr. Tuller also explained the importance of asking appropriate questions when the time comes. Questions such as those inquiring about
the company background; the salary,
if it hasn't been advertised or mentioned; promotion opportunities, and
benefits which can add $4,000 to
$5,000 a year to the salary.
He also stressed the importance of
contacting references before using
them so that they will be aware of the
possibility of prospective employers
contacting them.
Ending the interview with a thank
you and a handshake was recommended and a follow-up note to the
person who did the interviewing was
suggested by Mr. Tuller.
Mr. Tuller's visit was arranged by
the Sharing Talents and Skills Office
of the Westfield Public Schools at
Mrs. Miller's request.
Pingry Hosting Open House
On Evening of April 9
An informal Evening Open House
will be held at The Pingry School in
Martinsville on Tuesday, April 9, for
students interested in entering
Pingry's Middle and Upper Schools,
grades 7 to 12, in the 1997-1998
academic year. The program is particularly designed to acquaint students and their parents with this coeducational, country day school, its
philosophy, curriculum, faculty, students and many programs: and activities.
The evening will begin with tours
at 7 p.m., followed promptly at 7:30
p.m. by a panel discussion about
Pingry, as seen through the eyes of
students, faculty and administrators
who will take part. A question-andanswer period and refreshments will
follow.
"This open house provides an opportu ne time for those who are beginning to think about an independent
school education to explore what we
have to offer," said Director of Admission and Pingry alumnus,
Sherman English. "I think what makes
Pingry exceptional is the fact that our •
teachers and coaches work so closely
with our students, nurturing and challenging them to seek their own separate potential. Our Evening Open
House will allow those who attend to
meet some of our students and teachers personally and to learn about
Pi ngry in an informative but informal
setting."
The Pingry School was founded in
1861 in Elizabeth, and currently enrolls about 1,000 students on campuses in Short Hills for grades Kindergarten through six and in Bernards Township for grades seven to
12, near the community of
Marti nsville.

to make ticket ordering easier.

fans who can't wait to see him perform again. People come from all
over New Jersey to hear our concert.
The invitation is an opportunity for
people who can be extra generous to
buy patron tickets. Patrons who buy
$40 tickets will have their names
